Cosy underground bar, surrounded by sandstone, candles, vintage furnishings and cosy terrace. It’s a bit of an adventure to find, several narrow doorways off George Street then follow signs to the staircase to lead you down to the sandstone dugout bar, built in the 1840s. Whisky connoisseurs may appreciate the dedicated menu.
